Nice job on all the pics at the show sled dog Just out of curiosity what kind of camera are you using ?

Just a Fuji FinePix A205, 2.1megapixel camera, take all my pictures at top quality then compress them later. Some times its the greatest little camera, other times it just sucks the big one, it has its bad days like we all do I guess

This one ? http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/fuji-finepix-a205-reviews.html

That is a good price for the quality of pics.. Did you upgrade the card to 64mb to be able to take more pics ? Did it come with everything you need to transfer the pics to the computer ? If so how much was yours total ?

What exactly do you mean ''compress them later'' and how do you do it ?

Don't mean to ask to many questions but I figure I will get better answers from somebody that has one

I'm looking at getting another camera and don't want to spend a lot on it just so I can keep it in the truck.. I have a Sony Mavica that just takes 3 1/2 inch floppy disk. So I don't know much on how the other camera's work as far as transferring pics to the computer.. Mine you just take the floppy out of the camera and pop it in the computer and your done.

Yes it came with a transfer setup, but I bought a seperate one. The stock one the camera must be on(drains batteries), so I got one that just takes the card. I upgraded to a 128mb card that holds 204 of the highest quality pictures.

Two complaints, close ups almost always get blurry and ****ty, and the batteries NEVER last. They die way too often in this thing. You could probably find a better camera for near the same price nowadays. I think I paid like $200 or just a little over, that includes the camera, seperate transfer cable, and upgraded card.

Thanks for the info.. I thought you might have had one of those high dollar cameras when I seen the pics, but when I looked at the price it looked like that would be a good one to get .The Sony Mavica we have works good and takes good pics but the wife don't want me to beat it around in my truck.. It is also pretty big because it holds floppy disk so I want something smaller I can just leave in there and not make her mad if it gets a few scratches

Back on track did you bring home one of those old 70's Chevy's that were for sale or were they high dollar ?

Alright, here are some pictures I snapped at the Chevy High Performance tent today.

Old pickup body(no idea what year, don't know that old stuff) on either a Colorado chassis, may be an S10 chassis, but as far as I know its a Colorado engine:

I'm pretty sure this is the truck that GM built as a study for the upcoming SSR. Somewhere I have a rod mag with an article on it. Seem to recall that the engine is the 5 cylinder Vortec.

OK, thats a sweet dodge! Wonder how long that engine will last?!?!?!

Hey boss, where were you this year? Didn't see your K5 around(maybe I missed it).

 

[sled_dog]

Think you could get some more pictures of the front axle setup and talk to him a bout it a little? A buddy of mine really wants to build a Bronco with leaf springs, 60, and a 6.9L NA Diesel. I took the pictures of that one for him. Seems the leaf spring thing is rare for the Bronco guys with 60s, most just retrofit to the radius arm suspension.

Nice pics. wish i would have made it over there. This guys lives a block away from me
